Neil Diamond surprises theatergoers with ‘Sweet Caroline' performance
Good times never seemed so good for a delighted audience over the weekend, when Neil Diamond emerged from retirement for an impromptu sing-along. Diamond performed 'Sweet Caroline' in a surprise appearance on Saturday at his namesake musical, 'The Neil Diamond Musical: A Beautiful Noise,' in Los Angeles at the Pantages Theater, according to a video of the moment posted to the musical's verified Instagram page. In the clip, the crowd is seen applauding Diamond, who announced his retirement from performing in 2018 after revealing he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The theater crowd is then seen rising to their feet to join Diamond in singing his classic 1969 hit song. 'A moment we'll never forget,' the caption of the Instagram post read. 'A Beautiful Noise' was created in collaboration with Diamond and is billed as a 'musical memoir,' according to an official synopsis. It tells the true story of how the legendary singer went from being a kid in Brooklyn to a 'chartbusting, show-stopping American rock icon,' the synopsis read. A post shared by Hollywood Pantages Theatre (@hollywoodpantagestheatre) In a 2023 interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning,' Diamond opened up about how he was coming to terms with living with Parkinson's disease, which affects the central nervous system. 'This is what I have to accept. And I'm willing to do it,' Diamond said. 'This is the hand that God's given me, and I have to make the best of it, and so I am. I am.' At the time, Diamond added that he'd come to a place of acceptance, saying that 'a calm has moved in.'

Bill Belichick playing ‘second fiddle' to Jordon Hudson as UNC debut nears: College football insider
It's the Jordon and Bill show in Chapel Hill — in that order. College football analyst Paul Finebaum said Bill Belichick is playing 'second fiddle' to 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson while he closes in on his college football coaching debut. 'Also, there's Bill Belichick, anybody heard of this guy?' Finebaum said on 'First Take' on Friday while previewing the ACC. 'He's only the most-famous NFL coach of all time this side of Vince Lombardi, but lately he's played second fiddle to his girlfriend. I can't believe I'm actually saying that, but I am.' 3 Bill Belichick (r) and Jordon Hudson (l) during the infamous 'CBS Sunday Morning' interview. CBS It's certainly hard to separate Belichick and Hudson since the duo has gone public, and Hudson has made plenty of headlines on her own. While 'CBS Sunday Morning' interviewed Belichick in April about his book, Hudson became the focus after she shut down questions about how the pair met. That led to a back-and-forth between the network and ex-Patriots coach. There has also been controversy about whether North Carolina banned Hudson from the facilities — the school has said no — accusations of Hudson attempting to hijack a Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl commercial and recent bickering with Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday. 3 Paul Finebaum on 'First Take' on July 11. @FirstTake/X All the off-the-field headlines are contrary to how Belichick operated during his Patriots tenure, with several of his ex-players even noting how he would tell the team to limit distractions. The constant headlines have only heightened the anticipation for his first season coaching in the collegiate ranks, which begins Sept. 1 at home against TCU. 3 Belichick and Hudson have often been in the spotlight. AP The Tar Heels' Over/Under is set at 7.5 wins at DraftKings, with plus-odds to the Over. Some of North Carolina's high-profile games include an Oct. 4 home game against defending conference champion Clemson and an Oct. 31 road game at Syracuse. 'And that is a story that is really intriguing everyone. How does he do on the field?' Finebaum said. 'Mack Brown did not leave a great cupboard in Chapel Hill and I think Belichick has recruited well. Can he navigate the nuances of college football, that is really the question?'

‘The dreamiest boss of all time': Olivia Rodrigo paid for crew's therapy while on tour
It seems the therapists Olivia Rodrigo found for her band really helped. The 22-year-old 'Vampire' singer and her tour manager Marty Hom provided free and accessible therapy for the entire 'Guts' tour crew, rhythm guitarist Daisy Spencer revealed on 'The StageLeft Podcast.' 'I have never had anything like that,' Spencer, 31, told host Chris Simpson. 'And that reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had kind of fallen off for so long.' Rodrigo and Spencer just wrapped the 102-date 'Guts' world tour July 1 and completed a successful headlining set at Glastonbury, where they were joined on stage by the Cure's Robert Smith. While on the podcast, Spencer described Rodrigo as 'the dreamiest boss of all time' and opened up about taking care of her mind and body on the road. 'Suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists and I utilized the crap out of that,' she said. 'I was going, you know, once a week, once every other week, whenever I could. And it was even during the off time — we also still had access to this resource.' Rodrigo's dad, Chris Rodrigo, is a family therapist, and the singer has been very open about starting therapy at 16. 'That was a really big, life-changing moment,' she told CBS Sunday Morning in 2021. 'I've learned so much about myself.' And she's not the only musician promoting therapy. Lewis Capaldi, who returned to the stage after a two-year break from performing to focus on his all-around health, announced Monday that he's partnering with BetterHelp to provide 734,000 hours of free online therapy. Ariana Grande has also partnered with the virtual therapy platform several times in the past. Though the 'Guts' tour has concluded, Rodrigo still has several festival engagements lined up for the summer, including a headlining set Aug. 1 at Lollapalooza.
